Elements and types of weather

Introduction

Weather is the daily condition of a place recorded for a short period of time.

Let us begin by talking about the elements and types of weather and their effects.

The elements of weather are the things which determine weather these include: the sun,

the wind and the rain.

The above elements bring sunny weather, windy weather and rainy weather.

This weather gives us good and bad effects i.e.

• Wind helps to dry our clothes, we also use it for breathing but too much wind can

destroy houses and crops

• Sunshine gives us heat which dries our clothes and crops but too much sunshine

can destroy plants which may cause drought.

• Rain is a source of water for crop growing and domestic use but too much rain

may cause floods which destroy plants and houses.
